Wrong, as usual. Politifact, the liberal website, made the finding that the statement was "true" (LOL). GAO simply disclosed some statistics that certainly shouldn't have been unexpected. Like this one: "When GAO factored smaller companies into the mix, it found a higher overall proportion who didn’t pay taxes. Throughout the eight years the study examined, the overall percentage of non-tax-paying foreign and U.S. controlled companies never fell beneath 60 percent annually." And that FACT does not bother you; that overall only 40% or less corps paid any taxes in a given year? I doubt other Americans would be quite as indifferent as you seem to be. Then again, most Americans aren't republicans.
